Currently, my classroom serves 75 7th graders. Next year, it will be 180 7th graders! That's a lot of readers!
My teaching philosophy revolves around choice. Kids choose what to read, and how to write. I've found using Book Clubs to be very successful at this age, and they are usually the favorite thing of the year. Kids choose from a set of books fitting whatever we are working on: great stories during a narrative unit, social justice topics during an informative unit, dystopian novels during an argumentative unit, and verse novels during a poetry unit. They begin to understand that reading and writing do not work exclusive of each other, rather that reading and writing work together in harmony.
